    Summary

    Phainon only wanted to keep a promise. What he found was a gilded cage deep in enemy lands.

    Years ago, a wandering medium saved his life and left him with a warning: he must find her when he turned eighteen, or he would die. When he learns in Amphoreus that she has been taken by the young king of Castrum Kremnos, Phainon ignores all warnings and crosses the border to find her.

    But what begins as a personal quest soon becomes a web of manipulation, desire, and power. Trapped under the control of an unpredictable monarch, Phainon must decide what he’s willing to give up to survive—and which parts of himself he’s already started to lose.
